Abraham De Klerk, Heather Eytcheson, Spencer Leakey, Melissa MacRae, Alanna McLennan and Joanne Rouse passed the national Uniform Evaluation, written over three days in September.

More than 400 B.C. students successfully completed the exam and eight made the national honour roll, including McLennan.
